To my one true love,
Mary, how
are you? How are the children? And the farm? You will not believe what has
happened! I got the wonderful, exciting opportunity to meet General Arthur
Currie! Yes dear, he is the great man who made the Battle of Vimy Ridge successful
as he led the 1st Canadian Division in the battle! But not only
that, he is also the very first Canadian to command Canadian troops without any
direction from the British army. He has served in many battles and has worked
hard to achieve his position. Just meeting him inspires me to serve my nation
and be prideful. He is my role model dear, I look up to him. Arthur Currie is
truly an amazing, respectable man full with honour. I got to hear his tactful,
strategic thinking as now we are getting ready for another battle soon to come.
I promise you after our next battle I will be home to you and our beautiful
children. I love you so much, Mary. Take care, I will write to you very soon.
Jacques DuBois
